Why your neighborhood is full of Queens Crap
"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt

Great tour. I wish they would turn the PA-owned landfill into a park...I'm sure the top of that hill offers a great view. Such a waste to leave it off limits. I don't think it was a garbage dump...I suspect it is just a giant pile of dirt from construction of the airport.
In the late 1970's, I used to ride my bike up ontop of this mound and around in the summer. A precursor to mountain-biking. A nice sweet weedy aroma thereon. I guess it's been fenced off now.
Thanks, Kevin, for another educational sojourn.
Question. Why would Pike build his (Steinway) mansion with such ugly looking grey granite?

The midtown tunnel. The airport needed landfill as it was the bay.
What happened to Kevin's petitions in 2001? Did he get into law school?
